New The PC Build Thread

Hmm bf6 seems to be quite taxing on cpu, on my 9950x i am using 60 to 70% gaming at 4k. Which means the the 2nd CCD also needs to do some work which is not so great for gaming.

But you paid for the CPU, why would you want it chilling doing nothing? It is rather odd that at 4k your CPU is doing work, generally that is offloaded to the GPU, what is your GPU at? What is your GPU?

gpu is being maxed most time, 9070xt.

In gaming you want only use 1 set of cores, as there communcation delay if works loads get split to other set of cores.

The delay is not huge though.

Uhmm sort of, but having 60 to 70% on your CPU isn't the end of the world, it's not like it's hitting it's 100%. Having a CPU just chilling doing nothing would probably mean you've probably not balanced the PC that well. Battlefield just probably requires more CPU load than other games.
Though it does seem BF6 did have issues with cpu usage in beta, might be a carry over

Battlefield 6: CPU at 100%, GPU barely used — Performance issues? | EA Forums - 12432906

I'm playing Battlefield 6 with an RTX 3060 and I've noticed something odd: the GPU usage stays around 10–15%, while the CPU (i7-4790K) is constantly at 100%.... - 12432906

I have older desktop that isn't Windows 11 compatible and need some upgrade advice.

Current specs:
- i7-7700
- Gigabyte H270 motherboard
- 32GB DDR4 RAM
- GTX 1070 GPU
- Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card
- 2x NVME drives
- 2x SATA SSDs

I'd like to replace the CPU, motherboard and RAM and keep everything else. I haven't really looked at PC parts and performance in years and need some suggestions please.

No that guy is bottlenecking.

You are right with the balance part but that guy did not see your post.

Just bypass win11 checks, can easily run windows 11 on that pc

yup, my bad just read it now, that guy has a really old CPU with an older mid range GPU. Yeah he's bottlenecking but there were other reddit reports about high cpu usage on BF6.

Guy has a 5800x3d and a 9070xt with it running badly.
But it is the beta builds
 
The game is very well optimized from what I read so far so not too sure.

Will look at a few vids when I have more time.

Battlefield games do generally feel better optimised than others, but will need to see as well.
 
So yeah might have taken me 2 days to redo my PC. ADHD brain and distractions, but the Maxsun B850m Dark is tiny and the ID Cool A620 is huge :).
Took the day off to finish off the pc. Like reinstalling windows, fixing where the fans are plugged in, accidentally plugged top fans into pump :) so they going at full tilt.
Also clean up back cables and put things back properly, especially my desk which is a mess of screws and various other doodads.
At least the study sounds like it did 3 weeks ago when I had an inverter in here.

Yeah that's why I keep telling people to forego RGB RAM when picking that cooler.

I refreshed mine a month or two ago and like you I too made a mistake I had to redo. Doing these things on quiet days like weekends really is the best time to do it.

I however did mine on a workday and it was midday already. Delivery was initially expected the day before but courier didn't pitch so when they came the following day I had the bright idea to do it quickly and get it over with instead of waiting the rest of the week for the weekend.

Cooler/PSU/GPU/fans replacement + cleanup. No big deal right?

Well I did this in the office and I was a bit into it standing with the cooler I was about to screw-down in hand when a client pulled up. I was not expecting anyone nonetheless had no choice but to put it down and help this chap asap. CPU was already cleaned and new Thermal Grizzly applied.

30-40 minutes later client left and I stepped outside to take a smoke. Came back and in my mind cooler was abut to go in so I picked it up and screwed it in. Proceeded with the rest. Was a bit agitated because I had to cut old cables because Wootware zip tied the **** out of it with no room to spare at all. It was so tight it left marks.

Anyways, I finished up, took it back to its rightful spot, turned the power back on and booted into BIOS to set new fan curves feeling like a champ after a job well done. I was just about to take a seat and do just that when all fans suddenly went kamikaze mode. An immediate dread befell me and I felt a piece of my soul leaving me when I looked and noticed my CPU temp rocketing from 30 to " jissis ouens wat de fok gaan nou hier aan?" 80.

It was at that point.

I knew.

I ****ed up.

Ouch, hopefully not too serious?
So far the 9700x performs within 1% of the 5700x3d it replaced.
Will see what else can help it.

In pc's there is always a bottleneck

The question, is it holding other hardware back and by how much


If the GPU is 100% utilised and you don't see masive dips

Then i suppose cpu upgrade isn't really "needed"

Moerse upgrade to gain 1-5 % is a waste imo
